Search Me, Know Me, Try Me

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; --

Look into me, O God, into the deep recesses of my heart, even those places I hide from myself.

Try me and know my anxious thoughts; --

Test me to show me where fear still has hold of me, instead of trusting You.

And see if there be any hurtful way in me, --

Show me every thought, word or action in me that is against the good way You have made this world and intend for it to work; or that would be harmful to me or others or Your reputation.

And lead me in the everlasting way. --

Teach me how to live my life each day according to Your good plan for me, that I may be a blessing to others in showing them Your love for them and goodness toward them, to turn their hearts toward You and seek You, that they may find You and enjoy You forever. And You, Lord, will receive all the credit, for that is how You planned it all.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
